“The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals today ruled that I was wrongfully indicted by Ronnie Earle, the Mike Nifong of Texas, on laws that didn’t even exist. The court affirmed the decision to throw out the conspiracy indictments because they were based on laws that weren’t even on the books. What Ronnie Earle accomplished is no rookie error – it’s a political attack using our legal system as the primary weapon.
“Ronnie Earle’s politically motivated indictments cost Republicans the leader of their choice, and my family hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees. The damage he has done to my family and my career cannot be rectified, but the courts have recognized a significant portion of the injustice and ruled accordingly. For nearly two years I have been willing and eager to go to trial and with this ruling, we are thankfully closer to that day.
“Ronnie Earle may think this case is about campaign finance, but in the end it will be a case about his own prosecutorial misconduct.”

That’s the best news I’ve heard all day. Gives me hope that justice does, in fact, prevail.

Now where does he go to get his reputation and his House seat back? Somebody really needs to do something about Ronnie Earl.
Pyhrric victory, though, IMO. Ronnie Earle and his Dem cohorts already got what they wanted—Tom Delay out of Congress.
A day late and a dollar short but welcome anyway.
I hope that DeLay SUES the crap out of him.

Is he in the clear, then? Or are there still other charges?
But justice did not prevail, it merely ended the injustice.
Injustice was committed.
It won’t happen, but Ronnie Earle should be disbarred. Good news for DeLay anyway!
That’s right. He was one of the most effective House conservatives we had going and Ronnie Earl, playing dirty, took him down.
I just wish Delay would have stayed in the election. It is a shame that this type of BS goes on. The real corruption is with the Democrats.
Exactly. That was the point all along.
He still faces money laundering charges but now he can get to the trial he has been asking for all along.
There’s still a money laundering charge, I believe.
“His fellow re-pubs threw him under the bus for this phony indictment”
It was truely disgusting, and why I give to the limit to certain Republican candidates, but nary a half-pence to the Republican Party; it disgusts me only marginally less than the Dim Party.
Sounds like hammer time!
You said it and it bears repeating:
“His fellow re-pubs threw him under the bus for this phony indictment, while the rats circle around their own who are clearly guilty like Ice Box jefferson.”
How about Delay for President? He would have my vote.
